4.0 out of 5 starsI bought this book because I was bored, it sounded ok and it was on sale
August 6, 2016
I bought this book because I was bored, it sounded ok and it was on sale. I am so glad I bought it. It caught my attention right away and held it all the way through. The characters had substance, the plot moved along rapidly and didn't leave a minute to be bored with it. I don't do well with wordy authors...I tend to skip over pages and miss things when books are written that way. While reading this book, I can honestly say that I didn't skip a single word. I can't wait to read the next in the series. I haven't enjoyed an author this much since I finished reading the John Sanford Prey series.

1.0 out of 5 starsSoap opera
March 29, 2019
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
If you like soap operas this is the book for you. It is 80% lust and angst and 20% murder mystery. You may like this but I prefer my mysteries the other way around.
Kate and Ethan..ugh what a nasty, ugly couple. I want so much to root for Kate, but she is so addled, broken, horny, and flustered, it is difficult to take her seriously. Ethan just comes across as a pig. Yet they both continue to blame, curse, sneer, and snap at each other. I found them both to be so unattractive, yet they must have fans as some of the other reviewers seem to think so.
I would put this book in the “romance”section although even that part of the book is a major buzzkill. I, for one, do not find couples who bicker and insult each other constantly as “romantic”. You want romance and murder, a good ratio? Check out JDRobb and Eve Dallas with Roarke. Or just read the dictionary...

2.0 out of 5 starsNot for me
October 2, 2018
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
Looking forward to reading a book set in Canada, I was very disappointed. Kate Lange as a character was annoying, all that angst and self pity was annoying, the sexual tension boring and on the whole she didn't appeal to me at all. I felt sorry for Alaska, her dog, who was left alone for much of the time because Kate was so wrapped up trying to prove to herself and the world how capable she was. I skipped to the end and won't be reading any of the others in the series.

1.0 out of 5 starsNot a good read.
March 16, 2018
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
I did not like the story. Way too much repetition. The murder portion was underplayed as was the Colorado setting. Too much story line given to the relationships of the characters. The only part of the book I enjoyed was that it ended.

I would give it 3+ because it is well formatted and the author is a good writer. I only gave it a 3 because Kate didn't seem to have feelings. Or at least I couldn't get into her personality enough. The story about the tissue contamination was not done into enough depth or detail to be interesting. I like biomedical thrillers, so I will probably read another to see how the author grows after this novice attempt. Also, I think if she spiced up the names a little, it might have been easier to keep the characters individualized. All in all, a decent novice novel. I had to read it in a difficult setting on different devices, so that my have impacted my experience.

3.0 out of 5 starsFast paced legal thriller
January 24, 2018
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
This was a good read. Descriptive passages draw you quickly into the scenes and full of enjoyable characters you can relate to. My two complaints: after the first three chapters the book was full of foul language. This was really not necessary, the book was engaging, heart pounding, and realistic enough without the language. Second complaint (but it’s a small one): the book is set in Halifax but it really could have been set anywhere - there was no sense of place.
If you don’t mind foul language and gory descriptions, then I recommend this book. Other than my minor complaints it really was a good read.

2.0 out of 5 starsIf you like repeating of situations and thoughts this is your book.
September 9, 2017
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
I would say I had to skip over 3/4 of the book because of the repetitive narrative. Good story theme but entirely too much descriptive sentences repeated over and over! Horrible editing if any.

2.0 out of 5 starswhy would such a good writer ruin the book with vile language?
October 6, 2018
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
This is so well written with a plot that intrigues and characters that are interesting. However, I wasted $14.99 on a book that is going in the trash. The language is unacceptable and unnecessary. It adds not one good thing. I have never read any book where such language was necessary. Such a shame and so disappointing that an author of so much talent would do this. Why?

This is by far the dullest and most vapid thing I've read since Twilight. I couldn't get past the first two chapters. I was hoping it would get better, but no such luck.

1.0 out of 5 starsMore like a soap opera than a thriller.
April 8, 2018
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
I felt this book was not very well written and the story was more like a soap opera than an interesting thriller. It didn't catch me enough to make me want to keep reading. I stopped reading in the middle.
